"Mom" by Tania

When Amanda first mentioned this challenge the first thing that came to mind was a brainstorm web, as learned in elementary school. So instead of trying to pick my brain for a better idea, I ran with it. I don't have many pictures of my mom, so I decided instead of repeating a photo already used on another layout to just use the word MOM as my focal point in place of a photo. I used the time when writing down the words I associate with my mom to talk about her with my oldest daughter. She started making her own little list and together we decided which ones summed up our memories best to include on this layout. But, the coolest thing about this whole project is that as we were finding words that we associate with her, we discovered that behind each and every one of these words is a very important story that needs told. I'm so thankful to have a daughter who remembers every.single.little.detail. Each of these words hold a story of their own that deserves being represented on individual layouts that I'll work on with my daughter to put together the details that are fuzzy in my head. I forgot how helpful brainstorming webs could be!
